The situation in Romania remained tense on Monday after at least six people died in heavy rain and severe flooding over the weekend. The regions of Galați, Vaslui and Iași in the east of the country were particularly hard hit. About 300 people had to be evacuated from there, and around 6,000 farmhouses were impacted by the flooding. The victims are mainly elderly people, including two women aged 96 and 86. The water mostly affected remote villages, where people climbed onto rooftops to avoid being swept away by the floods. Hundreds of firefighters were deployed.
